Iiro Rantala is one of the most prominent Finnish jazz musicians best known as the founder and pianist of Trio Toykeat, Finland's internationally most famous jazz band. Rantala has written a concerto, which is not jazz nor contemporary classical music, but it is enjoyable, entertaining, compelling and action-packed music. The orchestration has been done by composer, violinist and conductor Jaakko Kuusisto, who conducts the Tapiola Sinfonietta also on this recording.
